This was a fantastic collaborative project with @JdowenL and @DuronioLab. So proud of first author @stutzman_alexis!

Super excited to share our new manuscript examining the role of heterochromatin components in 3D genome organization, now online @MolecularCell.

[McKay_Lab @DMcKay_Lab]

Although there is a clear increase in Hi-C contact frequency between pericentromeric heterochromatin and euchromatin, much of the separation persists in HP1 or H3K9 mutants!

Excited to announce our new paper has been accepted and is now available @GeneticsGSA. I really want to acknowledge the efforts of first author @MattNiederhuber in seeing this project through to the end. Congratulations Matt! https://t.co/mlAA2qCbZw

Huge shout out to @pinonangela1 a @TAMU_Biology student who just completed a summer undergraduate research experience in my lab thru @unc_sure_summer. I have every expectation that we will be hearing more from Angela in the future. She’s a terrific scientist! We’ll miss you!!

Super proud to share that Oscar Arroyo, a @UNC_GMB PhD student in my lab has been awarded a prestigious HHMI Gilliam fellowship. We are both looking forward to working with #GilliamFellows program to promote inclusive graduate training. Congratulations, Oscar!!

Great to see an old friend’s face @themwg during @UNC_Biology seminar today with @SeanBiolCarroll. Remembering the good old days in @richmann10 lab!

[McKay_Lab @DMcKay_Lab]

Congratulations @gene_marie_3 for getting her predoctoral fellowship funded by @NIHAging with @DuronioLab. You earned this one!!

Our last student research talks of the 2020-21 year (and hopefully our last time on Zoom). Since this was a reverse alphabetical year it was up to Cyril Anyetei-Anum @CyrilAnum from @DMcKay_Lab to send us off in style.
